THOMAS HARDY: FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD

Far from the Madding Crowd is one of the greatest novels of Thomas Hardy. It is easy and simple, and it presents a graphic picture of the rural life of Wessex. It contains one of the finest “rustic choruses” in all Hardy. Gabriel Oak, the hero of the novel, loves Bathsheba Everdence devotedly for many years, but gets no encouragement from her. There is a gallant fascinating soldier, Sergeant Troy. He has deserted Fanny Robin who dies in a workhouse. Now he comes to Bathsheba and wins her. But soon he starts ill-treating her. Boldwood, a farmer, love Bathsheba with great passion and one night shoots Troy. Later on, Boldwood himself becomes mad and Gabriel Oak and Bathsheba Everdene are at last united. This Critical study, originally prepared by Dr. Raghukul Tilak, has now been thoroughly edited, revised and updated by Prof. Shakti Batra.
